Chef Emanuele Giustiniani

Personal Chef in London

I’m an Italian chef with over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry. My passion for cooking began at a young age under the guidance of my grandmother, where I developed a deep respect for tradition, quality ingredients and authentic flavours.

From my teenage years, I worked in restaurants across Italy, building a strong foundation in classical Italian cuisine and developing a genuine passion for the profession.

For the past 12 years, I have been based in London, where I have continued to grow both personally and professionally, working in high-level kitchens and developing a style that combines Italian and Mediterranean traditions with modern techniques, international influences and creative presentation.

Today, I create bespoke dining experiences tailored to each client, occasion and group. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a celebration or a special event, my aim is to bring exceptional food, professionalism and a memorable experience to your table.

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is about turning exceptional ingredients into memorable experiences, combining flavour, technique and creativity to create dishes tha

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook in my grandmother’s kitchen in Italy, discovering fresh ingredients, traditional techniques and the passion behind every dish.

A cooking secret...

My secret is balance: quality ingredients, precise technique, creativity and attention to detail in every dish.

Emanuele was the perfect chef for our outdoor evening dinner party. We were particularly wanting Italian, and his menu proposal gave us so many delicious options that it was almost hard to choose. But everything he prepared was incredibly delicious, professionally plated and served, and the perfect combination for our group. He even had a sous chef join so the service was impeccable and the kitchen was left spotless. He was a very kind and friendly chef and we enjoyed getting to know him while he was preparing. He presented the dishes to us verbally and then allowed us to enjoy them with our friend. 10/10, would highly recommend. Thank you Emanuele!

What a special evening!! Emanuele carefully selected the menu around our requirements, and was very accommodating and communicative. On the day, the service was excellent and informative, and the food was AMAZING. Fresh and of the highest quality, both in source and preparation. There was even a surprise for us too! Simply amazing, couldn't recommend enough.

The experience was fantastic and truly memorable. Emanuele is such an amazing chef and the food was absolutely delicious
